The School Age Immunisation Team have a total of 470 schools with 136366 children across Northumberland, North Tyneside, Gateshead & Newcastle to target. Your help with swift responses to confirm dates and extra support with consents, means the team can better protect the children and the local community, and reduce the risk of staff being affected by the transmission of flu in their classrooms.

All dates, consent links and letters will be shared with the Head teachers via the school Admin team weeks ahead of the dates required.

If your local community is experiencing digital poverty, we are more than happy to work with yourselves and send some nurses into help families complete the forms. Please call the team if this is something you think your families will benefit from.

If you would like staff to attend parent’s evenings to share information or help with consent forms, or to do assemblies or do a presentation in classes during PHSE or health weeks, regarding the importance of vaccinations, please let the team know.
